Aannery-Horton pull s11rprise win
by Steve Smith
In what many observers are calling an
upset win, the student body president­vice
president ticket of freshman senator
Matt Flannery and Tim Horton have won
this years' student government election
and will hold the top two positions for the
1984-85 year.
Flannery, the cinema-video chair­person
in the Green River Community
College Lead and Earn program, and
Horton, who will be the first black vice­presdient
in the history of Green River,
put on a furious election campaign, but
were not seen as a real threat to the team
of Kevin Hummel and Mark Nyhus early
in the campaign.
"It was like a sneaking suspicion that
we had won," Flannery stated. "It wasn't
like a big surprise, but really it was,
because we had done it."
"I was happy that we'd won, but I'm
mainly looking forward toward the job
that has to be done," Horton added.
"This is just the first stage of it."
Of the 351 students that cast votes in
the election, Flannery received 175 total
votes, winning 49.9 percent of the
ballots. Hummel received 112 total, 31 .9
percent, while Mike Papritz received 57
total, 16.2 percent.
r=--~.,,._..,,_...
ln the vice-president race, Horton
received 134 total votes, 38.2 percent. He
was followed by Nyhus with 128, 36.5
percent, Papritz's running mate Greg
Harms, who received 40 votes, 11.4 per­cent,
and Raymond Carter, who ran for
fhe -post as an independent, with 27
votes, 7 .6 percent.

because that is what the students
wanted," he said. "I may be a little inex­perienced,
but I learn quick, so I don't
think it will present a problem."
Horton's inexperience doesn't seem to
bother Flannery, who felt he made the
best choice for a running mate.
"The only problem that I can foresee is
having a vice-presdient who is not use to
the system," Flannery said. "I have con­fidence
in Tim. He will overcome it."
"The man is energetic, eager and will­ing
to work for the students," Flannery
said. "I feel he has all the capabilities to
do this."
"Contrary to what a lot of people think,
I'm going to work for the students," Flan­nery
states. "It will be a challenge, but I
think we can do it."
These promises included working
towards reducing staff parking, increas­ing
the lighting on the dark pathways
around the campus, the campus litter
probelm and having vending machines
placed around campus to keep students
who attend classes far from the student
center from having to come clear across
campus.
Flannery and Horton also propose a
beter carpooling system and an improv­ed
book buyback system.
